Chilliwack 'n stuff

OK, so the last time you heard from me, I had just moved to Chilliwack and had a slough of hospital/doctor visits. Never fear, I have kept up with that ritual. Where to begin...

I work at a 'casual fine dining' restaurant here. Nice place. Can't figure out if my boss loves me or hates me or a little of both. Meh - I chalk it up to his being French.

Shaun TOC'd (Teacher on Call) for a while and had some part-time classroom work. As of January he has a full-time temporary position at the school in our neighbourhood. He is teaching grades 4/5. He has great bunch of kids and is really enjoying it, although I don't see much of him as he is constantly planning. This is life being married to a young teacher.

Chilliwack is, um, interesting. I'm sure that I like it all that much. It smells like poo (thankfully not in my neighbourhood). People here just aren't as friendly as Kamloops. And they seem so... I don't know. Behind? They live right near Vancouver and SO many of them never leave Chilliwack. AND IT SHOWS. I really thought I was going to like it here, but I don't.

I have applied for a job as an on-board with Rocky Moutaineer. I REALLY want to get on with them again. I should hear back this week. I am waiting on pins and needles. If I get the job that means I will be travelling on the train between Vancouver and either Jasper or Calgary. Of course, I will over-night in Kamloops, which is awesome, because I will get to see the sun, however briefly, before my 8 PM bedtime.

That's enough for now. Perhaps I will share some of my more humourous musings about Chilliwack another time. BYE!
